Takes about 2/3 weeks by post or same day in person at the consulate.
See www.britainusa.org for correct form (you can complete and submit online) and consulate which will process visas from your state. It's easy and painless!

I believe you can...and then after 3 years can apply for citizenship...
lot quicker and easier all around...but get expensive, still probably cheaper than this end of things...

I am living in the UK on a Spouse visa (I'm Australian), I booked an appointment to go in in person and apply for the visa and got it that day, it's very easy and I could work straight away.

As far as I know you can work on a spouse visa, but not necessarily on a fiancee visa. Check the rules in detail.
